Malice (1993)
Director: Harold Becker
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
All appears normal in a tranquil college town in Massachusetts. Newly-weds Tracy and Andy Sarafian (Kidman and Pullman) are restoring their dream house. He teaches English, she does voluntary work at the hospital. Andy meets an old chum, the arrogant but brilliant surgeon Jed Hill (Baldwin), who, to Tracy's chagrin, insinuates himself into their home. Surely he isn't the local serial rapist. A melodramatic thriller which did surprisingly well in the US given its implausible straight-to-video scenario. Undistinguished.Author: TCh
